Edge of Tomorrow: And Tomorrow And Tomorrow

Loyal readers of this blog know the Movie Slut is a sucker for time-travel flicks. The genre grabbed her when she saw H.G. Wells's The Time Machine. And then there was the delightful Groundhog Day. More recently, she enjoyed the dopey Winter's Tale. Yeah, she is a major fan of skidding around the space/time continuum.

And in Edge of Tomorrow, the stakes could not be higher. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt can only save our planet by going back in time to change the past.

Come to think of it, the plot is not unlike Stephen King's inspired 11/22/63, a novel in which the protagonist attempts to alter history by thwarting President Kennedy's assassination.

About Me

My name is Barbara Nachman and I'm the Movie Slut. A tub of popcorn and a dark theater is all it takes to turn me on.
From "Shine" to "Scream," from "Psycho" to "Sicko," from "African Queen" to "Queen Blood," from "Butterfield 8" to "Eight-Legged Monsters," I celebrate them all.
My love of film began in high school when I'd sneak downstairs at night to watch "The Late Show" and "The Late Late Show."
Now, movies are a religion. The dark theater, the retreat from reality, and often a message to take home. My favorite flicks remind me to seize the moment, to never give up, and to always remember that "Tomorrow is another movie day."
